Getting the Character

The first step in animating your character is to import a master template from the library.

In Harmony, you can create your character template from the Node view.

NOTE: If the template you are importing was created in the Node view, make sure to import it first and drop it into the Node view or the left side of the Timeline view. Otherwise, some network connections may be broken.

In the Library view, select the template or symbol you want to import.

Drag the selected template to the Network or Camera view or the left side of the Timeline view.

If necessary, in the Node view, connect your template to the Composite node. To do this, click its out-port and drag the connection to the Composite node until an in-port appears.

NOTE: If the template you are importing was created in the Node view, make sure to drop it in the Node view or on the left side of the Timeline view. Otherwise, some network connections may be broken. If you are importing a template containing the exact same connections as a template you imported previously, you can drop it on the Timeline view's right side over the existing layer. This will combine both templates and keep the existing layers.
